There's something wrong with airflow across the radiator if a stock halfwidth radiator can't cool a streetcar.

True JD.

I also found that the traction bar kit from weir is awesome, but it dose not leave a lot of room up front for the halfcore. So when I go out to the track and do some hot lapping/road racing, I have a good feeling that I would have had some problems when I block the entire radiator with a monster of a intercooler.

That looks Hot! That gave you a lot more room too in front of the engine which is nice. Fuck I wish I never threw that radiator away.

What year is the rex?

ratcityrex · « **Reply #67 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:10:38 PM »

Well after the dyno I put down 125hp 113tq with it n/a. Not bad numbers for a turbo motor with no turbo on it and a stock map. It was 14ish afts untill 5k then it fell down to 11.8 by 7300rpms. With some tuning Im sure I could have pulled out more power. But i figured thats about what it was putting out. Should have it turboed within the next 3-4 weeks.

Sweet dude. Give me a call if you want me to help out with the tune. I'll be glad to.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #69 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:40:55 PM »

Ill let you know. Im gona try messing around with the 750cc injectors tomorrow with the map you sent me. We will see how it idles I just dont know to much about doing offsets and all that. I heard that the Siemens Deka style injectors are easyer to set up than the rc 750's but that came from someone I dont trust a whole lot. So we will see. They look just like these ones

random-strike · « **Reply #70 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:53:12 PM »

can't wait to see it boosted, a very clean crx

ratcityrex · « **Reply #71 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:58:38 PM »

Thanks man. All the compliments I got on it yesterday mean alot to me, from so many of the people that kinda showed me the way to boost a car. Ive got a friend thats gona lend me a intercooler that I can test fit to see how it goes.

AbaZ · « **Reply #72 on:** June 01, 2009, 04:29:24 PM »

ah man, I didnt get to see your radiator install at the dyno day. I wanted to check it out. Looks very clean. Everytime I looked at your car it reminded me much of mine.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #73 on:** June 01, 2009, 06:22:45 PM »

Well got the 750cc injectors in and got it running. Not to bad just ended up turning the O2 off and setting the offset at 52 after I set up the fuel tools. Idles around the 15.2 mark. Then did a little street tuning and had to richen it up in a few places. Still running kinda lean on the top end, but thats ok. Im not boosted yet. Just need someone else to drive to I can tune. Kinda shitty trying to drive and tune at the same time....lol

well just a few updates. Ordered my intercooler last night, and a 2" alum bend that I need to have welded to my compressor outlet, got my 2 -10 an fittings for the valve cover. Finished the catch can the otherday. Now im just trying to get ahold of some guy named ron in utah to sent him my turbo wheels and have it balanced. Hope he calls me back. Man im getting so close to getting it done, I cant wate. Not much else I need. Just time and some parts ive ordered.
